    Here are two photos of the piece that fell off, and the guitar jack.

    WM, you can't see the threads in the nut of the small piece, but it does have threads that may be worn out. The guitar is over 30 years old.

    I put together my first tele at age 17 in the 80s. 3-way switch, volume and a puch-pull-tone pot. I just followed the instructions without knowing much. If I think about it I can still smell the solder. More telecasters followed recently.

    I haven't seen that exact jack before. From the rather unilluminating photos, I would guess that it's an endpin jack, somehow mounted in a solid-body. Or is that a semi? I can't tell much from the photos. It appears that the nut which fell off should just screw back onto the jack, but again, I can't tell much from those photos.

    It looks like there was a second nut that fell off somewhere, it probably just worked itself loose after years of plugging in. you should be able to see if the threads are stripped.
